Hell, he could have left that catfish on the line long enough for his
granddaughter to land it!

But then it wouldn't have been a record.

Why not? Does playing a fish for a few minutes make it not a record?

A single angler has to handle the fish.

AFIAK, in order to be "certified" as a record, only ONE angler may touch
the rod/reel/equipment until the fish is landed.

Oh! I didn't know that. When out with a friend one day, trolling, my friend
pulled in a 45' striper. He did the rod and reel work, but I did the net
work and pulled it onto the boat. I'm wondering if his citation was
legitimate. Sure hope so, or I'll have to go take it away from him (it's
framed with the picture), tear it up and throw it away.

He's a pretty big guy.
